Saturn and Mars

If you have some time, I'd recommend going outside and checking out Mars and Saturn tonight after sunset (approximately 20:45 EDT). Look due west slightly above the horizon. It'll last until 22:30 EDT provided one has an unobstructed view of the western horizon. I forgot to go out and take a look Thursday night, but they will be very very close to each other once again tonight.





The above chart still applies. They won't quite be as close as yesterday, but still, the price is right. I was using Sky and Telescope's interactive skychart. This is a link for sunrise/sunset times for various locations.
